Why you should back Chelsea
The Blues recorded a four-game unbeaten streak on the road prior to their 4-1 loss to Newcastle United on Nov. 25, drawing against Bournemouth before reeling off victories versus Fulham, Burnley and Tottenham. The club outscored those four opponents 10-2 and posted a pair of clean sheets during the run. Forward Nicolas Jackson scored four of Chelsea’s goals in that span, including a hat trick in the team’s 4-1 triumph over Spurs on Nov. 6.
The 22-year-old Jackson has netted a team-high six goals in his first season with Chelsea after registering 12 with La Liga’s Villarreal in 2022-23. Winger Raheem Sterling is second on the Blues with five goals after notching six over 28 matches last campaign – his first with the club following a seven-year stint with Manchester City. After failing to convert in his first 30 Premier League contests with Chelsea, midfielder Enzo Fernandez ended the lengthy drought with a brace against Brighton on Sunday.

Why you should back Manchester United
The Red Devils cruised to a 4-1 victory in their last home meeting with Chelsea on May 25. Captain Bruno Fernandes converted in that contest and is tied with fellow midfielder Scott McTominay for the team lead in 2023-24 with three goals. The 29-year-old Fernandes, who also tops Manchester United with three assists, netted at least eight goals in each of his first four seasons with the Red Devils.
McTominay is one goal shy of matching his career high and already has eclipsed the amount he amassed over the previous two seasons, when he converted once in each. Marcus Rashford is the only other member of the Red Devils with more than one goal in 2023-24 as he has notched a pair, along with an assist. The 26-year-old, who matched his career high with 17 goals last campaign, scored in Man United’s 3-0 victory against Everton on Nov. 26 and also tallied in the home win versus Chelsea back in May.
